Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I heard that gargling and sniffing water with the same water from one hand is the Sunnah, and that separating them is a religious innovation (bid'ah). Is this correct?
Answer:
No, that is not correct. It is not a bid'ah. It is not a bid'ah. He may combine them in one mouthful, and he may separate them, whichever is easier for him. Everyone knows that combining gargling and sniffing with one hand is fine, and there is no harm in that. The matter is broad, and praise be to Allah. As for saying it is a bid'ah, no, it is not a bid'ah. Yes.
